This is pro-family so looks good. But looks like a huge opportunity for fraud and pick up an extra $9000. Muslims will love this. Same for third world “migrants”.
more government handouts to abuse ...
Hopefully it has some scam protection since muslims will scam the hell out of this.
Mr. Mom much happy?.
Oh no! The Learing centers may go out of business!
Just increase the deduction for children and be done with it. If you hand out money they will take advantage of it.
Scamailis are sad
Maybe Somalis have been practicing this policy for years in Minnesota.
Democrat heads are exploding.
It will be funny to hear how they are against this.
Let parents borrow from their Social Security fund.
“child care”
One mom could work 3 days one week and another could work 4 days one week.
They could then alternate.
3,4
4,3
3,4
4,3
....
The non-working mom could watch the working mom’s kid(s).
If they worked 10 hours a day, they’d average 35 hours a week at say Amazon.

In retail or restaurant and if the daddies had M-F jobs,
It could be Saturday[10 hours] & Sunday[10 hours] for both plus two weekdays[8 hours+8 hours] for 36 hours/week each.
NO, no, no. This is ridiculous. Does no one in Washington DC understand $40 Trillion in debt? All child care subsidies need to stop. Along with paying family members to take care of their own. That’s what family is supposed to do.
Unmarried couples suing in 3,2,1.
We are all socialists and grifters now.
At first, I thought this was for all mothers, but thankfully it’s for married mothers. There are many single mothers out there with the baby daddy living in the house, and if they want it, the baby daddy needs to step up and do the right thing.
When I was born in 1958, federal welfare was I believe limited to public housing and hospital construction subsidies.
I am 100% supportive of the goal. But social engineering doesn’t suddenly become a good thing when we do it. It’s still socail engineering.
And the government can’t give you anything it hasn’t first taken from someone by force.
The skinnies will take the money and have a slave tend the piccaskinnies.
The federal welfare system was built piecemeal.
Each program is independent of the other and it encourages fraud and abuse at every possible opportunity.
What might be done instead is to have the welfare component of Social Security be used to fund most federal welfare benefits. The exceptions would be housing and medical.
If you got SNAP benefits now, you’d get less Social Security later on unless you repaid the federal government for the SNAP benefits.
But you say you’re hungry, then take the SNAP benefits as if you starve to death you won’t live to get Social Security anyway.
Ditto for Obamaphones, TANF, etc.
Would your Social Security be reduced? Only if you got welfare. Most people would get the same amount of Social Security. It would come as Earned SS and Welfare SS each month.
What about disabled children?
Parents and care providers could take a realistic look at Junior’s prospects.
It might be better to put the cost of Junior’s special education into a trust fund managed along with the state pension system and let Junior stay at home.
What about housing? States control the cost of construction.
Hotels used to have basic rooms only with bathrooms down the hall and no guest kitchens whatsoever.
Over a period of 10 years, federal housing subsidies could be phased out, first by freezing the amounts and after five years lowering the subsidies by 20% per year.
States might mandate a worker benefit fund.
That might be set at roughly 70% of the amount of a PPACA silver plan for a 60-year-old, which might come to $800/month (or $5/hour for a part-timer).
The 60-year-old worker would simply take employer health benefits.
The 25-year-old might take employer health benefits at say $400/month and put the remainder into a state pension plan managed investment trust at the rate of $400/month which might be used to pay for childcare, used as a down payment for a house, used for living expenses if unemployed or entering retirement.
States might phase in such a system in over five years.
